1) the car shopping that I was doing was the very beginning of shopping just to see what was on the market. there is a market in nairobi that occurs only once a week (Sundays) and basically what happens is any number of people bring cars to sell. some of the people maker their living selling cars here others are just looking to unload a used car. there is a wide variety of vehicles from old used cars that should likely be headed to the junkyard, to slightly used BMW's.
I came with a short list of criteria, that eliminated all but about 15 of the cars of the hundreds there. of these 15 all but about 5 were eliminated by price....and of these 5 only one was even close to one we could live with and the price was too high. But now I know....
2) after a long process I was able to get my three year work visa. So my passport now says that I can be here for three years. This is wonderful because my first visa was set to expire in the next few weeks. While I was there, I was able to turn in paperwork for danielle and all of the kids. We should hear by Christmas that they have been accepted as well...at which point danielle and I will pay a chunk of cash and turn in our next bit of paperwork.
Glad to be back with the family not such a big fan of Nairobi as of yet...
